House/Yard Update

Our yard is beginning to take shape, but we're quickly realizing the yard is as much work as the addition was. Our sprinkler system is buried in our yard, because of the process to dig the foundation for the addition last summer. We've begun digging up the system, so we can remove the old system and put in a new system. So far, we've found one sprinkler head in the middle of the yard - but in the process - our front yard has started to look like World War II with the trenches...

We've had our several tons of rock on Craigslist for a couple of weeks now and have almost successfully had all the rock hauled away (for free!). The previous owner of our house had done lots of rock landscaping (see "before" photo below!) and unfortunately, we just don't need all that rock anymore. We'd prefer to have lush, green sod, but we've got to get rid of the rock first! Hopefully one more week and we'll be rock-free.


BEFORE - Rock everywhere!
